It's also has very much to do with the timing of the trial.
Imagine having that thing going - something so similar with SNC-Lavalin, during campaign time!
Take note, the charges have not been dropped. It's been stayed - which means it can be reopened within a year. Imagine that like the sword of Damocles hanging over Norman's head for a year?
Singling out Norman (from 73 names mentioned), and having him go through all that just because of doing his job (as explained by Jason Kenney, who was involved with this affair), it's like someon in the PMO/Privy Council, is being so petty waging a vendetta against Norman.
Also, what's Brison's role in this? He quit politics for a good reason, I bet!
I bet Norman will talk - at a very opportune timing, too! Keep it close to election time. I hope so. It's for the best interest of Canada!

So.....if you're Muslim, Facebook will let you post message of hate and violence! It will even allow you to threaten to kill Jews!

Shocking video of children in Philadelphia Muslim Society: 'We will chop off their heads' for Allah

The Muslim American Society (MAS) Islamic Center in Philadelphia posted the video to its Facebook page celebrating "Ummah Day" in which young children wearing Palestinian scarves sang and read poetry about killing for Allah and the mosque in Jerusalem.

I recently reported a Canadian page on FB that had posted memes suggesting that Muslims should be 'eliminated'. Facebook declined to remove it because it didn't offend their "community standards." I think FB is not really interested in removing hateful content, other than very high profile ones, such as Faith Goldy and Louis Farrakhan.

You don't think at all, French Patriot.
I think I owe a little explanation. Do you get why I say RealityCheck's post is based on ignorance? That he didn't get the OP? here's what he responded to:
Now, read that, and understand what is being said. Take your time.
Realitycheck's response to it, is irrelevant - he's simply gone ballistic! Since you liked his response - you therefore failed to even see that not only was his response irrelevant - but, he also was arguing out of ignorance. Now, what does that say about you?
Be satisfied that at least, I'd indulged you both with some precious time.
Bye.

And those are the same old so-called "evidence" usually given by atheist idiots!
I imagine they all came from the same pro-choice atheists sites (but of course, it's like the blind leading the blind).....
Here....let me illustrate why those are standard arguments from idiots......
Those cherry-picked verses (which are taken out of context), does not mean you can freely kill the unborn anytime you want, and for no other reason than just.....because!
2 Kings 8
Because I know the harm you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little children to the ground, and rip open their pregnant women.”
2 Kings 8 didn't only talk about killing children, but also killing pregnant women! Because it happened in the OT, do religious people believe that's it's okay to kill people? Duh.
How many men and women were killed as punishment by God? Hello? You're saying just because that happened in the Old testament, therefore it's okay to kill men and women! Same thing.
Shows you.....you got it all wrong. That's what happens when you cherry-pick verses without understanding them!

Then, do what they want with their bodies! Doh. Lol. Why does it matter what I say? What - am I holding them hostage?
If they're going to be bothered by my talking against abortion - then it means, my opinion means so much to them!
Do as I do! I don't care about your opinion since I know they're mostly based on ignorance anyway! :shrug: At least, I directed you to another thread that explains abortion on Christian grounds - where I'm coming from!
Freedom of speech/opinion rings a bell with you, guys?
Let's discuss the weird reactions, instead. That's what I find intriguing......it's the same exploding reaction from some atheists in another forum, having a major melt-down over a simple Easter greeting from a Christian to fellow-Christians!
It's quite weird when someone suddenly comes angrily on this thread and starts exploding without even understanding what he quoted! It makes me think of missed meds.
Too many liberals give arguments based on ignorance - Realitycheck's ignorance of the OP is an example! And, that's just the OP which he did not really comprehend! lol, When you missed the OP - what have you got? And here you come, too.....on his heels! Like you two are tied together, or something! I guess you think there's strength in numbers, eh? Doesn't always work in a forum, my friend!
Then he started bringing up the Bible, too! You guys are so funny......

Boy. You seem angry.
You're just one among many of those I've dealt with - using the same ignorant cliche.
Nah. Not gonna waste my time on you. Just reading your post above already tells me you're not worth it.
Here, just check out this old thread.
